"Family Fun"

On the day after Thanksgiving we headed up to Salt Lake to see the lights at Temple Square and to stay in a hotel for a night. We thought it would be a great way to spend time as a family. Well, as you might know, things don't always turn out as planned. We stopped at the Mayan to eat before heading up to SL and right when we were getting ready to leave Austin threw up all over the floor and my coat (after already taking him to the bathroom twice)! Well we just thought he had a fluke throw up experience and we continued on our way. We were just pulling up to the temple when we hear some gagging and a huge splash (we didn't think to even think to give him a barf bag)! So now Austin, his whole seat, the floor, and even the seat in front of him are covered in throw up! But determined to make to best of it we continue to the hotel, where I put Austins pjs on in the parking lot and we head up to the hotel (leaving the mess for another day and trying not to think about it:). Me, Austin and Luke stay at the hotel and rent a 15.00! movie while Caleb and dad head up to Temple Square. So while it wasn't the trip we had envisioned we still had a good time and at least we slept well-Caleb had his own queen bed while Andy and I shared the other, Austin was on a roll away and Luke in the pack n play.

Caleb refused to be in this picture with the boys

At least he got one with me


Here he is enjoying the lights with dad


These pictures are not part of the trip but I thought they were fun. Here is Caleb and Luke in 2010.



Here is Austin and Caleb in 2007. I didn't realize just how chubby Luke is until I see this picture of Caleb when he was the same age!

I love how these little ones of ours throw us curve balls all the time. I hope Austin is feeling better. Poor little guy. On the bright side, what a great idea to get a hotel room for the night! We love the lights, but it always ends in tears (usually mine :) ). I might just have to do the hotel/lights idea next year.
